A couple of gnomes

Wiki Gnomes are users who focus on taking care of the wiki by handling the little things. See the Wiki Gnome Headquarters for more info on joining the Wiki Gnomes (hint: you may already be one!). See also Wiki Gnome on Ward's Wiki.

You too can be a wiki gnome!

Old gnomes may suffer from wiki fatigue and appear cranky even when they have the best interests of the wiki at heart. Usually a vacation away from the wiki will help return the gnome back to their usual helpful and welcoming self. You can prevent gnome abuse by helping out overworked or overwhelmed gnomes!

Some gnomes are also philosophers.  You may come across a wiki gnome or two at La Lucha Space for Guerrilla Archivists

Gnome Tools

• Recent Changes — Gnomes read other people's edits and watch for edit or revert wars.
• Outgoing Links — Gnomes try to add links to pages that don't have any links to other pages on the wiki.
• Orphaned Pages — Gnomes try to find places to link to a page that doesn't have any links to it.
• Wanted Pages — Sometimes Gnomes will go looking for pages that are linked from other places that don't yet exist. Sometimes they unlink the links on the requesting pages, and other times they create the wanted page.

User JordanB is a stellar example of a wikignome on the Conway wiki!! -JeffPadberg
